A system and method for an eSync bus protocol is provided. The eSync bus protocol uses a broker to route communications between electronic devices within an electronic environment, such as within a vehicle or the like. The electronic devices may first register with the broker, and thereafter send messages to the broker for routing to other registered electronic devices. In this way, the broker may act as an intermediary to route communications using the eSync bus protocol. A multi-client architecture is also provided in which multiple domains may be defined by the functions performed by electronic devices within a respective domain.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
7. The broker device of claim 6, wherein the non-broker routed communication session comprises at least one of a data distribution session (DDS) session, a user datagram protocol (UDP) session, a or transmission control protocol (TCP) session.
11. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the at least one processor is configured to use the broker device to establish the non-broker-routed session key by using the broker device to route information used for or indicative of the non-broker-routed session key so that the receiver device obtains the non-broker-routed session key.
12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the at least one processor is configured to generate the non-broker-routed session key to the broker device in order for the broker device to route to the receiver device in order to establish the non-broker-routed session key.
13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein responsive to determining to send the non-broker-routed message, the at least one processor is first configured to establish the broker-routed session key, to encrypt the non-broker-routed session key with the broker-routed session key, and to transmit the non-broker-routed session key with the broker-routed session key to the broker device for routing to the receiver device.
16. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine to send the non-broker-routed message in the non-broker-routed session based on a type of the non-broker-routed message.
17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the type of the non-broker-routed message comprises a diagnostic message.
19. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine to send the non-broker-routed message in the non-broker-routed session based on the receiver device that is to receive the non-broker-routed message.
